This week he will up against Santos .. the toughest opponent he will come up against this season …
Can't see him getting a sniff Saturday
I'd hope not unless he scores and then he's welcome to indulge any drug related habits in the evening as long as he is fit for training the following week.
Of course after just a couple of games it’s all guesswork which doesn’t even need explaining but this place would be as dull as our current attacking options if only optimistic positive opinions are allowed to be expressed someone let us know at what point are you allowed to predict the next Macaulay Bonne I know pronouncing Yanns replacement has arrived is fine .

Yeah you know you've got a point there. What we need to do is just complain and look for the negativity in everything, that's much more exciting and interesting.
It's unreal on here.People just like writing players off after a few games. Don't forget that "the great" Alfie May didn't score for the first few games.
Ahadme is part of the plan. His work rate is great and he helps knacker out the defenders, along with Campbell. Then you bring on Aneke/Kanu to strike.
Yes he hasn't scored yet, but we've only played 2 games. Let the guy cook

I’m pretty sure not many wrote him off and plenty could see he was decent

I think some people on here are unable to realise that highlighting fact/ reality is not negativity. If it’s raining outside and you say “it’s raining outside at the moment”, you’re not saying you don’t think it will ever be sunny again…
ahadme has looked mediocre so far is the fact. Maybe he’ll end up being good, maybe he’ll end up being shit. It’s too early to say, but only the former is an acceptable possible scenario to mention 🤔

But by the same logic saying "hopefully the weather improves" doesn't mean you're saying its not raining right now.
I don't think anyone's hyping him up as the next Kermorgant, or predicting he's going to outscore May. Just that some people see enough to think he's got more potential.

For me it’s more about being neutral until a player proves otherwise rather than positive. Claiming Ahadme is the new Yann is as over the top as deciding he’s the next Bonne. Some players adapt quickly, others need time to show their best which can be for various reasons.
Covers what we've seen about being a handful for the opposing CBs, but also emphasises him having a habit of scoring/assisting at crucial moments. Reading the CUFC thread about him there's a lot about how good he is with the ball at feet. Also sounds like his mentality is a big positive.
My overall sense is we'll see a lot more from him when our forward play evolves from long diagonals for him to compete for.

agreed in principle with both of these, but IMO he's looked very ineffectual in both games, obviously I hope he's great but *from what I've seen so far*, I'm not at all impressed... and the statbank for both games agrees.
that's not negativity, just the "reality" of the 2 games (only 2 though!) so far. therefore IMO optimism SO FAR is less justified than "negativity"
I'm certainly hoping the sun comes out and he scores a hat trick on saturday but if he is hauled off at half time having barely touched the ball I won't be telling myself he's the next best thing in waiting just cos he ran about a bit!

Two average at best performances still doesn’t tell us much though.
Remember when Kilkenny was the new Cullen, or we had a real gem in Louie Watson?
Or the first few months of Dobson’s time here when he wasn’t considered one of our best players? He was even dropped after the first few games and didn’t show what he could do until he played under Jackson.

I'm not personally worried by the performances/goals. My concern is that there have been a number of moments in the past few games (and in pre-season) where he could have shown some core ability, e.g. quality, awareness and composure - even if what he tried didn't come off - but it didn't seem to be there.
It's possible it could click suddenly. Hope he's more Dobbo than Izale.

I know. I did say clearly “only 2 games”.
As I said , I’m not saying he’s gonna end up being shit or end up being good at this stage! But as you say, two “average at best performances” so far. This is the only evidence we have on him… SO FAR (I also watched the Pompey friendly and was similarly unimpressed fwiw).
Can’t go on anything else. Not writing him off, hope he is good. So far he hasn’t been, and most agree as per Statbank (albeit not Seth plum, although Seth I would point out that both matches were won after he had been substituted 🤷🏼♂️)

I was wrong with all 3 of them and was singing high praises for Kilkenny and Louie , no one bitched about me sucking them off after 2 games
Was better with his hold up play in the First Half... Did well to read the long balls pumped his way, and showed some good touches to lay them off, the only downside was he had either Tyreece Campbell or Berry as his targets from those knock downs, so the ball would pretty much always end up at the feet of a Reading player who pressed well today.

Best of all he has contributed to two wins in the League.

A lot of running but for the price tag I am far from convinced.
Invisible the second half though.
